the C if ty- PRIVATE TUITION.---A middle-aged MAR RIED CLERGYMAN, without family, of the first re spectability and literary reputation (residing on his Penefice in the country, in a healthy and pleasant situation, about 50 miles from London, and four from the south coast ), limits himself to the ac ceptance of TWO SELECT PUPILS, preparing for a P u bli c Scho o l, t h e Universities, or a Continental Tour. They enjoy the easy intercourse of home, and equally participate in all the usual comforts and propriety of a Gentleman's Establishment. To a youth whose health or character demands the steady union of mild but sound instruction, with kind though firm moral control, more than common advantages are, it is presumed, here offered. The highest references will be given. Address, post paid, to the Rev. F. S., care of Messrs. T. and W. Boone, Book s ellers, 9, New Bond-street.

Robertson, 18, Austinfriars, London. Dartford, the chief market place of the rich agricultural district of West Kent, and the most considerable manufacturing town in the vicinity of the metropolis, possessing, besides its well-known gunpowder mills, numerous other mills for the manufaeture of paper, flour, oil, mustard, &c., also extensive steam engine works, is In a direct line butts° miles distant from the Thames, and yet has cl r emained to this eith out any better com mun i ca ti on with it by Water than is afforded by a shallow and sinuous creek of twice the l ength, navigable only about the ti me o f hi g h wa t er, an d t h en f ornone but craft of the smallest burden. The same is the case with the adja cent town of Crayford, so fast rising into commercial importance b y means of its extensive silk and cotton print works. it is now Proposed to connect these two towns with the Thames by a ship canal, capable of admitting both sailing and steam vessels of 410 tons burden at all times of the tide—to convert Dartford and Cray ford in effect into sea-port towns. The distinguished engineer who has been employed to make the necessary surveys estimates that the d wor k may be executed for 65,0001., and, from the reputation he s a er vedly possesses for th e accuracy o f hi s est i mates, great reliance lY be placed on the expenditure not exceeding that sum.e time required for the execution of the entire work will not, t h e sup !) , , exceed eighteen months from the commencement of the excavations. .T;ato nnage conveyed along the present creek, under all the ex disadvantages of the navigation, amounts to between "uo and Part of 60 ,000 tons annually, but this is probably not a tenth the tonnage which would pass the Ship Canal. A vast teamity of produce which, on account of its perishable nature and tables:B7" lent j;„ ee , r tainty in point of time of the present navigation, is now to the London market, such as hops, flour, fruit, vege line of e.) would be at once transferred to the quicker and cheaper hniasur: nactounrvaieyiyance.

THE PERSIAN STANDARD OR, THE RISING SUN !

A Lion couchant, all its battles won, Watching, with furious eyes. a rising sun. If heralds should hereafter, or should princes, (When heralds and their masters have their senses) Be actuated to establish worth, And make their actions known through all the earth ; Sure, Warr. n, and his Blacking, now should stand As great in heraldry as in the Strand. Hear, then, a fact :_when Bonaparte had plac'd Ambitious wishes on the British East, Russia (then his ally) 'gainst Persia fought, And gain'd advantages, though dearly bought. A troop of partisans, by Persia paid, With British Officers of various grade, Approached the Russians, who began to brag, Seen the partisans without a flag; But this neglect, it very soon appear'd, Might, by a littla genius, be repair'd.

This was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chan cellor, argued a few days ago. His Lordship now gave judgment. The bill was to recover possession of certain lands under the custom of the manor of Taunton Dean, in the county of Somerset. The defendant claimed to retain these lands under an assignment from the heirs of the wi dow of Robert Marks, while the plaintiff denied the validity of this title, and contended that she, as the younger sister of Marks, was entitled to succeed him by, the immemorial custom of the manor after the failure of certain settlements made by Robert Marks in 1761. His LORDSHIP thought the question of the custom so doubtful that he could not decide the point raised by the Bill without directing the trial of an issue 'to determine the validity of the custom, the defendant in such issue admit ting that Robert Marks did not die till 181 a ; the issue to be tried at the ensuing Assizes for the county of Somerset. • KAYE V. MARSHALL. This was an appeal from an order of the Vice-Chan cellor, directing an issue to try the validity of the specifica tion of a patent for spinning thread. The bill was filed for an infringement of the patent, and the defendant put in a demurrer, denying the originality of the inventicn. Sir F. POLLOCK argued in support of the appeal. The LORD CHANCELLOR directed the further Ergunient in the case to be taken to-morrow morning before hearing motions. The Court rose at two o'clock. "ROLLS COURT.-WEDNESDAY, STOKES V. HOLDEN. Mr. TINNEY appeared for the plaintiff. A person of the name of Holden, who was entitled under a will to an interest contingent on his attaining the age of 21, had the misfortune, during his legal infancy, to be convicted as a felon and sentenced to one month's imprisonment, far having stolen a goose. Upon his attaining the age of 21 the ques tion arose whether his interest had been forfeited to the Crown. There was no case similar to the present to be found in the books, and this, therefore, he contended, should be determined on abstract principle. Mr. WRAY appeared for the Attorney-General. The MASTER of the Row should look into the cases on the subject, but at the same time felt a strong inclina tion to believe that the contingency now before the Court did not vest in the Crown. EVANS V. STOKES. This was a bill filed by three shareholders of the French Brandy Distillery Company against the Directors of the Company, Mr. Betts and certain other persons, for the purpose of having an alleged fraudulent transaction be tween the Board of Directors and Mr. Betts set aside, and to have the partnership affairs wound up. Mr. PEMBERTON, on behalf. of one of the defendants, took a preliminary objection for want of parties. Mr. KINDERSLEY, for Mr. Betts, took the same objection. Mr. TINNEY appeared for the plaintiffs. The MASTER of the Rou.s thought, from the nature of the suit, that all the shareholders ought to be parties. He, therefore, gave the parties leave to amend, or, if they de clined, leave to have their bill dismissed. The costs'to be paid by the plaintiffs. VICE-CHANCERY -WEDNESDAY, COMMEBUY V. BYERLY. Mr. KNIGHT made an application for a special injunction orte parte to restrain - the defendant from entering into any contracts or granting any licenses for the use of a certain secret in the manufacture of Woollen cloth which he bad elicited from the plaintiff under very peculiar circumstances. The bill stated the plaintiff, who resided at Rheims, to be a person of very retired habits, and much addicted to scientific pursuits, but as a man of no experience in matters of busi ness. Some time prior to 1834 he discovered a chemical process calculated to effect a great saving of oil in the pre paration of wool, and to produce a very great improvement in the quality of manufactured woollen goods. In the course of that year, at an hotel / in Paris, the plaintiff became ac quainted with the defendant, who called himself Sir John Byerly, of Whitehead- g rove, Chelsea, and represented him self to be a person Ofconsiderable influence and extensive connexions in this country. The plaintiff, being desirous to obtain a patent for his process in this country, mentioned the subject to the defendant,. who pretended there were very formidable difficulties in obtaining a patent, but recommended himself as a person whose influence, ex perience, and talent, would be very serviceable to the plaintiff. The plaintiff having no experience in the world, and being wholly ignorant of the language and laws of this country, was not, the bill alleged, in a condition to detect the gross exaggerations and misrepresentation the defendant made to him ; and under these circumstances the plaintiff was induced to sign an agreement. The 'bill alleged the plaintiff had received no consideration whatever for this agreement. His HONOUR granted the injunction. -;. KING'S BENCH-WEDNESDAY. THE PING V. THE NEW RIVER COMPANY. This was an appeal against the levying of a rate upon the defendants in respect of the property in pipes, &c., belong ing to them, and of which they had a profitable occupation in the parish of St. James, Clerkenwell. Mr. S. B. HARMER appeared for the appellants. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL took judgment for the re spondents. The COURT was occupied during the rest of the day with cases of poor-law settlement. BAIL COURT. GOODMAN V. LORDS GLENTWORTH, TORRINGTON, AND OTHERS. Mr. ERLE showed cause against a rule obtained in the present Term in this case for setting aside judgment, first, on the ground that the transaction which formed the sub ject of the motion was an usurious one, and next, that there was an irregularity in entering up judgment. Lord Glentworth had, in June, 1832, signed a warrant of attor ney, by which he bound himself, conjointly with Lord Tor rington, the Hon. Mr. Hay, Mr. Beresford, and another, all being officers of the 7th Royal Fusileers, to pay at the end of two years the sum of 1,5001. for receiving at that time the sum of 5001. Th e money was ra i sed for the ac commodation of Lord Glentworth, the other officers be coming parties to the instrument already mentioned as se curities for the payment of the sum agreed upon. O n th e back of the warr an t o f a t torney was a defeasance, by which •the sum of 5001. was acknowledged to have been received, and by which it was agreed that judgment should be entered up, and execution issue forthwith, but that no levy should be made until the expiration of ten years, the period of time which it was stipulated should be suffered to elapse before the repayment should be required. It was not denied that judgment had been entered up immediately after the in strument was perfected, but it was now contended by the Counsel for the defendant that the judgment was irregular. Mr. PLATT, in favour of the rule, contended that the judgment was not irregular, but invalid. His LORDSHIP should reserve his opinion as to whether the judgment was only irregular, or whether it was invalid, until to-morrow. THE KING V. LOMAS. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for a rule to show cause why a criminal information should not issue against the defendant, who was the proprietor and publisher of the Stockport Advertiser, for a libel.—Rule granted. ADMIRALTY COURT, WEDNESDAY. THE PETREL. In this case a motion was made to-day by the King's Advocate, praying the Court to decree a warrant of arrest against the Petrel, which had been taken out of the autho rity of the Court, and to issue on attachment against the master and mate. The COURT said that the vessel had been already ar rested, but it would have no difficulty in issuing attach ments against the master and mate, who were in contempt. THE SARAH BARRY._SALVAGE. • This was a question of salvage, claimed by four Margate boats, namely, the Fox, a lugger, and three galleys, the Mary, the Hope, and the Queen, for services rendered by them to the Sarah Barry, a vessel of about 268 tons burthen, bound from London to Jamaica, with a general cargo. The Sarah Barry was proceeding on her voyage, when, on the 23d December last, the wind blowing W.N.W., and the fog being extremely dense, she struck on the Foreness Rocks, which are situated about two miles east of Margate. There were some slight differences be tween the statements of the salvors and owners as to the circumstances connected with the getting off the vessel from the rocks, an object which was effected by four o'clock in the morning of the 24th of December. Before the sal vors reached the Sarah. Barry, the Albion steam-vessel, 400 tons burthen, and 100-horse power, had used every exertion to rescue the vessel, but in vain. The value of the ship and cargo was 5,5601., and no tender had been made. Sir JonN NICHOLL thought that it would be no act of injustice to the owners to allot out of the large sum of .5,5601., 2001. amongst the salvors, there being twenty-six shares, together with the costs: COMMON PLEAS-WEDNESDAY RANSOM AND OTHERS V. DUNDAS AND ANOTHER. The arguments in this case were resumed to-day by Mr. Sergeant WILDI:, who was followed by Mr. WRANGHAM for the defendants. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD appeared for the plaintiffs in support of the rule. The Court observed that as the case was likely to occupy much time, it must, in justice to the other suitors of the Court, be put off till next term. BEASLEY V. CLARKE. Mr. Sergeant ADAMS showed cause against the rule for a new trial in this case. Mr. Sergeant GouLnuaN sup ported the rule. The question arose upon a right of way. The defendant pleaded that he used it as of right. The replication was a general traverse of this. The Court would take time to consider, as' they wished ;0 have a conference upon the subject with the Court of King's Bench. EXCHEQUER COURT, WEDNESDAY PERRY V. DA COSTA. This was an action for money won at play under the sta tute of 9th Anne, against gaming, tried before Lord Abin ger on Friday last, when a verdict was given for the plain tiff with 451. damages. The particulars were then fully reported. Mr. Jones now moved for a new trial. Rule refused. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. QUEEN-SQUARE. Yesterday Peter Thomas Tadman, who had gone by the name of Captain Tadman, was brought up for re-examina tion befoie Messrs. GREGORIE and BURRELL, charged with a very extensive system of swindling. There were no less than ten or twelve charges against the prisoner, in addition to those entered into on the day previous. In reference to the first charge preferred against the pri soner, it appeared that at the beginning of last December he engaged, from a lady named Miss Sophia Bevill, a hand somely furnished house, situated No. 4, Westbourne-place, Eaton-square, Pimlico, at a weekly rent of three guineas and a half. Two agreements were made out, one of which was signed by the prisoner, and the other by Mr. Paul, house agent, living at No. 151, Sloane -street, who was em ployed by Miss Bevill. On the 4th of December the pri soner took possession of the house. Subsequently circum stances transpired which excited suspicion against the pri soner, and on Monday last Mr. Paul went to the house, and then discovered that a quantity of the household furniture had been carried off. Information of this was given at the above office, and on the same day the prisoner was appre hended by one of the officers of the establishment. The Magistrates committed the prisoner on the above charge. The second case against the prisoner was conducted by Mr. Humphries, and was of the following nature : Mr. William Stone, clerk to Mr. Felton, carriage manu facturer, of Belgrave-square, and Piccadilly, stated that the prisoner called upon Mr. Felton on the 18th of December, and treated for the purchase of a carriage, saying that he lived at No. 4, Westbourne-place, Pimlico. Witness went there on the following-day, and found the house hand somely furnished, and the prisoner gave witness to under stand that the whole was his property. The reference given was, " Mr. King, Solicitor, No. 7, Gray's Inn square." The purchase of the carriage was put off ; but on the 20th of December, the prisoner engaged a cabriolet on hire for a month, for which he was to pay five guineas it was removed by the prisoner on the 21st. On the 28th the prisoner hired a phaeton for a month, at the charge of six guineas. Witness had previously called upon Mr. King, the reference, who stated the prisoner to be highly respec table. In one of witness's visits to the prisoner, he pro duced a printed circular for his inspection, which had the effect of establishing his opinion of the prisoner's resources. Mr. Humphries read the circular in question. The fol lowing is, a copy. : " EXCURSION UP THE MEDITERRANEAN.—A party of La dies and Gentlemen are about to proceed upon an excursion of pleasure up the Mediterranean and the parts adjacent, touching first at Gibraltar, and from thence as may be agreed upon by a majority of the party. The vessel intended for the excursion is a fine frigate-built ship, with accommodation for thirty passengers, and fitted up with every comfort that can be obtained ; as warm and cold baths, a piano, harp, band of music, carriage for inland parties, and a small yacht for shoot ing and fishing. excursions ; the table will be covered in every , respect, and in style not to be excelled by a first-rate hotel and club house, as neither trouble nor expense will be spared in the selection of articles of the first qualities. Charge for passengers eighty pounds, which will include all expences on board, and allow them to indulge in every luxury. Apply to Captain Tadman, No. 4, Westbourne-place, Eaton-square Pimlico." Examination of witness continued—After the prisoner had the cabriolet and phaeton, Mr. Felton felt uneasy, and desired witness to wait upon him (prisoner), and request to know where the phaeton and cabriolet were used. The pri soner replied that his steward, Mr. Shepherd, had the ca briolet at Portsmouth, and that the phaeton was at the Ship livery stables at Brighton. By the wish of Mr. Fel ton, witness communicated with both those places, but could gain no satisfactory intelligence respecting either of the carriages. In consequence of certain information wit ness went on Tuesday to Robinson's Carriage Repository, in Little Britain, and there saw the cabriolet and phaeton. Mr. Henry Heygate, clerk to Mr. Robinson, stated that the prisoner called at the repository on the 21st of De cember in a cab, on which he wished an advance ; 10/. was advanced to him. On the 30th, witness advanced him 30 guineas upon a phaeton.—The prisoner was committed for the felony. As a vast number of other charges were made against the prisoner which would occupy a considerable time, the Magistrates again remanded him until Saturday. THAMES- OFFICE. Yesterday Captain John Betts, the master of the IVilliam and Henry, was summoned before Mr. BALLAN.- TINE to show cause why he refused payment of .5/. 1.55. Gd., balance of wages claimed by William Faulkenbridge, late a seaman on board. The complainant's case was conducted by Mr. Pelham, an attorney, who said the man did his duty in the ship until the day he was sent to the hospital. It was an old prin ciple of the law 'that if a man fell ill in the discharge of his duty the expenses should fall on the ship. Mr. BALLANTINE—CertainIy, and the man must be paid the Si. 12s. Gd., which has been improperly deducted. Mr. Pelham—And the costs, Sir? Mr. BALLANTINE—They follow, of course.—The sum ordered and 4s. costs were paid. BRIGHTON-WEDNESDAY. Their Majesties have not been in public to-day. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cumberland arrived at half-past one o'clock this day, and, having had an audience of the King, returned to town shortly afterwards. His Majesty gave audience to Lord W.

Sinzpkin, Marshall, and Co. 1836. Here are viands suited to every palate. The philo. sopher, whose calm dispassionate gaze extends over centuries of human history ; the poet in fact, or in desire, who seeks to make his name coeval with his country's literature ; the politician of the season, the noisier for being poor, despised and neglected ; and the critic of the hour, whobelieves that he is the first min of the age, if he but succeed in elevating himself to the head of some club-housecoterie by whom scandal is more cultivated s than taste—will each find food wherewithal to whet, if not to satiate his appetite in this Nu m b er of the " London Review." The philgio,'per will, as matter of course, turn •to thq review of Gniznes " Lectures on European Ci‘! : .;:zation"—one of the first works of the kind published in Europe within the last twenty years. .Why it has not yet been translated into English, we cannot for the life of us understand. A bookseller, who would undertake to bring it out in monthly volumes, under the superintendence of a-faith ful translator, well versed in the philosophy of modern France, would unquestionably realize a profit by the speculation, besides rendering serviceh most imp or t an t Ensh t r o e a a d e xr,se.ry The h u e m e p r_o e n v s i 'find intelligent class' of wer observes, with great justice, that the bulk of English writers of the present day, know not )- , i ' mg of the literature of modern France, apart fri - .,m a few of the works of Victor Hugo. Of course t'bt minority form a respectable class ; but of these very few have troubled themselves with works uncon nected with the events of the first Revolution. IVIM. Guizot and Thiers are well known as historians ; but the lectures of the former--the best ever delivered on the civilization of mankind—have been little more than heard of in the literary circles of London. We highly approve of the spirit in which the Reviewer has introduced the subject of them : we are still better pleased with the - distinction which he has made be tween M. Guizot the Minister of Louis Phillippe, and M. Guizot the Philosophic Lecturer and Profes sor of History. As M. Guizot's lectures embrace a system, and as the merits of a system cannot be ex plained within the compass devoted to newspaper cri ticism, we must refer our readers to the lectures them selves ; and, in the absence of them, to the Article now before us. The extracts are numerous and well selected; the commentary upon them is just and dis- • crirninating ; and the general opinions sound, bespeak ing the Revievver a man of enlarged views, and very considerable information. Tile poet, and the lovers of poetry, will find matter for reflection in the Review of M. Victor Hugo's poetical and prose wor i xs, which the editor assures 113 is from the pen of one of the first French critics of the present (lay. As this article is to be the first of a series, we shall give the Foreign Reviewer's op;:nion of his distinguished countryman in his own words. We may as well observe that the following extract is a fair, and we are of opinion, a correct specimen of the Reviewer's style, which is not wanting in terseness and vigour : " Monsieur Victor Hugo made his (Nut in literature by the worst of all apprenticeships—that of academic prizes. It augurs no good of a young man, when he'winds up his imagination to order, undertakes to find wisdom or poetry at a time and on a.subject prescribed, and aims at seeming before he has learned to be. A mind really destined to accomplish great things has, if we are not mistaken, a sort of chastity of soul, to which the glories of a prize -poem inspire repugnance rather than desire. M. Victor Hugo, at little more than fifteen years of age, was a candidate for the prize of 'poetry at tke Academie Francais°. He merited the prize, say his biographers, but did not obtain it, on account of two verses in which he spoke of his fifteen years, and in which that illustrious body suspected a trick. The subject of the composition was, the Advantages of Study. Those who can write, about them a t fif teen , are little likely ever to know them. - " From 1818 to 1820 M. Victor Hugo gained succes sively th ree p r i zes f rom t h e A ca de m i e des J eux Flora . ux of Toulouse : the last of these procured him the degree of maitre es jeux floraux. Paris had been in an extacy about his fifteen years ; Toulouse was in extacy about his seven teen years. M. de Chateaubriand termed. him a boy of genius,' an imprudent compliment, calculated to inflate th e boy with th e se lf-i mportance of a man, and render him vain of a genius which he did not yet possess. The mother of the young poet had cause to tremble at these words, as though they were a bitter irony. There is no such thing as a boy of genius. There are boys who have become men of genius, at the price at which genius is granted to man, namely, after having drunk deeply of human life in its varieties and profundities : for genius is but the philosophy of human life. Such phrases as that of M. de Chateaubriand are of disastrous effect. They in toxicate the boy who has been baptized with them ; they are a morbid stimulus to him ; they give him pretznsions to all the exalted qualities which *he is yet unpossessed of ; they resemble lime spread on the roots of a young tree, which makes it produce, prematurely, fruits of no flavour. In nothing is greater reserve necessary with a child of high promise, than in prophecies and hoT•oscopes of this nature. Beware- of nursing them into an early passion for display : like flowers, they should be let grow, and unfold themselves in their own time. The robust and restless tenant who is named Genius will take up his abode only in a strongly built and already well-furnished house. " No one- is much to blame, however, for the direction which was first impressed upon the mind of the young poet. By the very nature of his talent,which the time is now come for characterizing,--M. Victor Hugo was adapted for pre cocious successes, and the factitious honours of Academies. He possessed in an eminent degree the kind of ability which succeeds in that class of competition ; a facility in dressing up common-places, and an abundance of fancy ; two en dowments which do not wait for maturity of years, and which may sometimes give the air of a profound thinker to a boy who has nothing in him but a felicitous recollection of what he has seen or read. Fancy is the sole talent of M. Victor Hugo : therein consist his claims to constitute an era in the literature of his country, in which there is not. a single instance of an eminent writer who has had nothing but Fancy. By this it is that he has acquired his tumul tuous celebrity, and created so great a stir among the young men. Fancy—a rich, fervid, luxuriant Fancy—that quality which, though the result of mere memory, commonly usurps the title of Imagination ; with a very ordinary degree of sensibility, and without the controul of reason, hut capable sometimes of putting on the guise of the former, and sometimes accidentally hitting upon results coincident with the latter—this is a complete description of M. Victor Hugo." The politician—more especially if like D'lsraeli the younger, he have the privilege - of shortening the lives of Ex-Chancellors, by boring them with after-dinner disquisitions on the drowsy subject of " our glorious Constitution in Church and State"—had better turn at once to the Review of that youth's much-talked-of, though unread " Vindication." F'oor. D'lsracli is sadly_ mauled by his merciless critic, in whose hands he is as powerless as Sancho in the blanket. The article on "Newspaper Taxation" has already been notieetl.in our columns ; and the strictures "on the Aristocr ic y" are but a re-hashing of a stale dish served ur, with sick ening regularity in every Number of the t , Westminster Review." Gleig's " Chronicles of 'Waltham" is on the severe side—albeit, we think the castigation which is given to the Tory Parson and political Novelist falls very short of the Reverend Gentleman's deseke. That the chastisement has been administered with profit to thq culprit we greatly doubt ; but the example may nave a salutary influe nce on f u ture clerical recipients of Whig bounty.
